4 Reasons to Start Planning Your Trip to Gatlinburg in Winter

Posted on November 22, 2016

When you think about taking vacation, you probably think about planning trips during the summer. Whether you go to the beach, the mountains or to a new city, summer is the most common time to plan a vacation. But sometimes you and your family need a break during the cold months, and Gatlinburg is the best place for a winter trip! Read below to learn 4 reasons to start planning your trip to Gatlinburg in winter.

1. Fun in Every Season

One of the best reasons to visit Gatlinburg in winter is that it is just as fun during the cold months as any other time of year, and some people would say that it is actually the most beautiful time to hike and enjoy other outdoor activities. You can enjoy a hot cup of coffee and the snowy mountain views from your cabin’s deck and then bundle up and head out for a day of winter fun in the city! With the trees bare, your chances of seeing animals in their natural habitat during your hike through the woods is much higher than in the summer, and you’ll love the feeling of the fresh, cold air filling your lungs. After your hike, head to downtown Gatlinburg for a delicious meal on the town, an afternoon of shopping or maybe even a dinner show like the Hatfield & McCoy Christmas Disaster Dinner Show! You can have just as much fun in Gatlinburg in winter as in any other season without dealing with the heat and humidity. You’re going to love it!

2. Cozy Cabin AmenitiesThe awesome game room in the Bear Crazy cabin in Gatlinburg.

Another great reason to visit Gatlinburg in winter is because our Gatlinburg TN cabins are a wonderful place to get some much needed rest and relaxation. Winter is an especially nice time to spend a weekend at our cabins because we have all the amenities to keep you cozy, comfortable and warm! There’s not a more peaceful way to spend an afternoon than curled up with a book in front of a crackling fire or playing games of pool and air hockey with your family in the cabin’s game room, and the secluded hot tub is a perfect way to warm up on a chilly evening. Our cabins also have outdoor firepits, which means your family can enjoy being outside even in the cold winter months.

3. Special Winter Events

When you visit Gatlinburg in winter, you’ll have the chance to experience lots of different festivals, parades and various other winter events. The Smoky Mountains are a beautiful place to celebrate the holidays, and Gatlinburg really embraces the spirit of the season!

If you love to see houses, buildings and trees lit up with festive Christmas lights, you don’t want to miss the Gatlinburg Winterfest Trolley Tour of Lights! This is a free trolley ride around the city of Gatlinburg to see all the most elaborately decorated places around town! You can also get a tour map and drive your own car if you’d rather take your time and tour at your own pace.

For the ultimate holiday shopping experience, be sure to spend a day at the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Christmas Show. This arts and crafts event is free to attend, and you will be amazed by all the beautiful, creative locally made wares that will be available to purchase. Quilts, soaps, jewelry, pottery, photography, paintings, jams and jellies and so much more!
